Zero Motorcycles Motorcycle Repairs

If you're looking for help fixing your Zero Motorcycles Motorcycle, look no further! Our comprehensive Zero Motorcycles Motorcycle repair guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and maybe show you how to repair your vehicle.

Set the Choke Properly 
For carbureted motorcycles, you might need to set your choke or mixture enricher to match the ambient/engine temperature. Another common oversight, this issue can crop up in extreme weather conditions, or when conditions take a sudden turn you haven’t accounted for. 

Confirm There’s Gas in the Tank 
A basic pre-trip check is seeing whether you have gas in the tank, but it’s something riders tend to overlook. Especially if your gas gauge reports a full tank, you might not think to check. Keep in mind that gauges can malfunction, so consider jostling your bike and listening for the slosh of gas in the tank before jumping to other potential problems. 
If you can confirm there’s gasoline in your bike, see if the fuel pump is operational (if the motorcycle has one), and if there’s a carburetor, see if there’s gas making its way there, too. 

Engage the Clutch 
It’s usually a no-brainer for experienced riders, but for newbies, remembering to engage the clutch can mean the difference between a relaxing ride and a frustrating trip to the shop. Many bikes must have the clutch in before they will start—even when you’re in neutral. 
There’s also the possibility that your bike’s clutch switch has been damaged, and you can try “pumping” the clutch a few times to see if that helps reset it. You can get around the clutch switch, but long term, you’ll need another solution (and probably a clutch replacement). 

Check for Blown Fuses 
Just like a car or truck, motorcycles have fuses, and they can blow the same as in any other vehicle. Keeping a fuse kit on hand is helpful so you can replace any blown fuses with one that has the same amperage. 
If fuses continue to blow after you replace them, you likely have a more serious electrical issue somewhere in the bike’s wiring. 

Determine if the Petcock is Clogged 
One potential issue that might be keeping your motorcycle from starting up is a clogged petcock. The petcock is a fuel control valve. It controls the gas flow between off, on, and reserve settings. Clogged petcocks are a common issue that riders often bring up in forums. 
A minuscule screen helps keep gunk out of the petcock, but corrosion and bits of stray material can cause flow issues. Rattling the petcock a bit can help dislodge any blockages, but replacement or a deep cleaning might be necessary to get your bike running again. 

Look for Loose Wires 
Another seeming no-brainer is checking electrical connectors to see that everything is plugged in. Electrical issues often escape riders because they aren’t always visible, but manually checking the connectors can help you spot a problem that wouldn’t otherwise reveal itself. 
If you suspect something other than the battery is the culprit, especially if you’ve just swapped the battery for a new one, it’s also worth looking at your battery connector cables. It’s possible your new battery’s wiring is incorrect, making your non-start a quick fix once you tighten the cables to the terminals.

Only Test Drove 2018 SR model with 14.4KWh. battery from Elk Grove Power Sports as Michael is great sale man that he really gone through 2018 ZERO SR model. I had drove it, this bike is very solid feeling. So far I haven't purchase this bike because it's not for everyone in lack of models to select. As of my red-flag: Handle bar is little too low plus seat isn't that comfortable plus no power saving LED. headlight. Zero rather use 100 watt Halogen for headlight that you lose more than 1 mile from your range per fully charge to 14.4KWh. battery. Don't get it wrong; overall it's great electric motorcycles but Zero needed to do even more to sell more motorcycles as the competition will rise up soon.

Great factory test rides here! Zero Motorcycles gives you the normal marketing talk along with some prep information about riding their electric motorcycles. It is all well presented. But the real gem of the experience is a cool 30 minute test ride in the surrounding area. It's a beautiful setting for a ride that allows you to get a real feel for Zero's line of motorcycles. Led well on great bikes. Thanks for the test ride!

I brought my bike in for a crazy noise issue and got the Best customer service of my life. They were super nice and understanding on the phone and even helped me unload my bike from the trailer. They fixed the noise issues within 2 days and even replaced my cracked mirror and rusty kickstand spring for free. Better customer service than I could've ever hoped for, thanks zero .

Zero is making some really INCREDIBLE strides in producing some awesome electric motorcycles. I bought a Zero DS from SF Moto in San Fran and I couldn't be happier. I have had nothing but good experience when calling customer service at Zero. They have always answered my questions and even went so far as to help with tracking the shipment of my bike to the dealer.

Have owned a Zero SR for about 3 years now, and have been very happy with the experience. I had a gas bike previously and grew tired of the maintenance as a regular rider (mostly commuting and short joy rides). Being able to plug into a basic wall outlet has been nice, and being able to control the levels of power output, regenerative breaking, and engine regen (similar to engine braking on a regular bike) through the app is a nice touch. As for the maintenance that I mentioned earlier, all that you really need to do, are check your air in your tires and the tension of your belt. The brakes last forever with the regenerative braking set to 100%, and obviously no oil changes, plugs, or tuning of the engine (not even an engine, just an electric motor). It's a perfect bike for people who commute around 100ish miles (I get around 130ish miles on back roads/city riding, and 80 or so miles per charge if riding on highways), and want to accelerate quickly at stop lights. If you love going for long rides and going over 100mph, this bike probably isn't for you (some fo the newer versions have faster charging and higher top speed, though). It's been a perfect bike for me. I do my ride and then plug it back in, when I get home...low hassle.
